White River Site (Site 1)

Love this spot!

Such a fun spot! Great for groups. Great spots for hammocks. The grass is very nicely maintained. The stars are so beautiful at night! The water was cold and mid thigh level but felt great over the hot weekend! Bring tubes to float down the river! Such a great spot, definitely will be back!

Private Riverside Campsite

Property is gorgeous and there’s plenty of critters to watch. This time of year the bugs are going pretty good so be prepared especially for the wasps. Stars incredible out here. I do wish you could fish the river but plenty of other stuff to do

White River Site (Site 1)

Huge-Private-Easy

We had a large group and everyone was able to find a flat, soft, grassy spot in the shade for their tents. We could all spread out for privacy too. The meadow and hill side were incredibly beautiful and we saw deer every night. There is a store and restaurant near by so that was convenient. What I liked best was that we weren’t being harassed by a camp host to stop talking after 10:00. We see each other, at most once a year, and we have a blast. The host seemed to totally understand what we needed and was very easy to work with. It was so simple. Camping with such a large group can be challenging but this place was absolutely perfect for our group and I can’t wait until next year! We’d love to go back.

Clear Spring Pond (Site 3)

The views were incredible. I would happily come back to this beautiful place. Thanks for the stay!

Lower Twin Lake Campsite

The site and the countryside is beautiful. The access road is almost impassible with ruts even for a medium sized class b RV like ours. It’s also a long, difficult drive from rafting launch points despite it’s apparent proximity

Lower Twin Lake Campsite

Magnificent spot for our group!

Magnificent spot. Tucked away in the middle of nowhere with a beautiful lake. We spent our whole trip pretty much floating. We had enough space for our whole group! BRING BUG SPRAY.
